Firexplorer

If Internet Explorer and Firefox had a love child, then it would look a lot like Firexplorer. This marriage made in Mozilla labs is an odd one to say the least. What if you wanted all the form and functionality of Firefox, but you wanted it to look like Internet Explorer?

Here is what the creators had to say about the project:

The Firexplorer began when Andy (Cobaltfish) and I were working at a large accountants, we wanted to install Firefox on a batch of new PCs yet still have our users think they were using Internet Explorer. It was a real pain in getting it to work, and we eventually gave up but started adding our findings to this website. From there corporate sponsors became interested, and we currently have a version of Firefox 1.0 repackaged very nicely.

This is a good idea if you have friends that are not ready to make a big shift in the way they surf the Internet. It is also nice for those folks out there who might actually like IE’s interface better than the standard Firefox one. The screenshots are well worth check out if you are interested as well.
